## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kihustle-damerau-levenshtein-scorer-bed47567 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compute the Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance score between the strings 'kitten' and 'sitting'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a classical Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance score specifically (supporting transpositions in addition to insertions, deletions, substitutions), rather than a plain Levenshtein or Hamming distance. Useful for spell-checking pipelines, fuzzy deduplication, and input normalization where transposed characters are common typos.

## Known failure modes

- Missing text_a or text_b fields returns an error
- Empty string inputs may return zero distance or an error
- Very long strings may cause timeout or unexpected results
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400 error
